The boys kicked off our preseason at Cobham on Thursday, July 9th.

Over next couple of days we’ll go over some pro’s, con’s and expectations/concerns leading up to the 26/27 season for the Blues.

PRO’s Part 1:

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

If only we could’ve finished off that game against Hull, we’d be sitting pretty on the table right now.

We’ve got to close out & win those types of games. Difference between sitting 3 points behind 1st & sitting outside top 4. Hopefully this boost today propels us forward #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

What a feast! Feels good to be back Blues.

Great way to restart the season after the international break. Let’s keep the momentum going and Keep The Blue Flag Flying High! 🦁⭐️ #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

What a worldie from the old timer! Take a bow Henderson #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

JOÃO PEDRO IS THE BEST STRIKER IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE!

GO ARGUE WITH YOUR MOTHER #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

My New Year’s resolution (yes we are months away lol) is for Chelsea to not drop off in quality/concentration after 55min.

It’s like once the clock hits that part in the 2nd half we sink into ourselves & get comfortable providing every opportunity for a team to come back #CFC

Say what you want about pushing Rob Sanchez out of the club, but not once have I felt anxiety while Martinez is on the ball.

That confidence from a GK is everything. I wanted the ball nowhere near Rob.

& u can see that the players trust in Martinez to play him the ball #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

What a difference having Caicedo in the midfield it is. The stability he provides is unmatched. A Chelsea gem #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! WHAT A PERFECT START FOR THE BLUES!

Doo doo doo MORGAN ROGERS!! #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

HENDERSON!!!! GET IN GRAMPS #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

Opportunity to take the league by storm. Fresh legs, full squad, let’s get these 3 points.

Come On You Blues! #CFC

Chelsea confirm Cole Palmer has signed an improved contract until 2034. New deal adds a further 12 months and reaffirms Palmer's commitment to the club.

Reece James, Moises Caicedo, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro have all signed new contracts in 2026.🔵

🗣️ Palmer: "Chelsea means a lot to me and I think the club is going in the right direction, so I'm delighted to sign and I’m obviously very happy.

"Speaking to the owners, to the sporting directors and obviously the manager, they gave me a lot of confidence so it was only right to sign.

"Speaking to players as well, everyone has the same ambitions. I feel like we win major trophies here consistently and I want to be a part of that and play a big role in it too."

International break felt like forever. Excited to see the boys take the pitch again #CFC

Arsenal and United have been irrelevant for 15-20 years. Nobody gave a fuck 😭. I get wanting City out due them being cheats but saying that x2 UCL and World Champions Chelsea would not put a dent in England is hilarious.

Arsenal not even the biggest club in London but carry on

[Mal @UtdMaI]

Take Arsenal out of the Premier League and millions lose interest.

Take Manchester United out and the league loses one of its biggest global audiences.

Take Liverpool out and the same thing happens.

Now take Chelsea or Man City out… the Premier League carries on just fine.

That’s the difference between being successful and actually being part of the identity of English football.

Manchester United, Arsenal & Liverpool.
Those three are the face of the Premier League. It really is as simple as ABC.

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

I will clearly state this: NOBODY and I mean absolutely NOBODY cares / is worried about the state of the league / nor fears “consequences” if City are relegated.

The only ones pushing this rubbish agenda are City fans. I promise you, every club and fan outside of those associated with City know it will be for the betterment if these cheating crybabies are punished.

This cry for detriment of the league and UK is the ONLY thing City fans have to cling on to. They know they’re guilty. They know everything they have won is under false cheating pretenses. I promise you, the EPL will thrive with or without them. #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

Another Lavia on the horizon. Can’t wait to witness him miss a third of the season because of hamstring and “minor” injuries that leave him out 2-3 weeks at a time. 👍

[ChelsHub @chelshubMedia]

🚨 Chelsea are back in contact with Manu Koné’s representatives.

SPTC Sources understand that Chelsea have entered agent talks again with the Roma midfielder to assess the possibility of a January move.

The biggest issue is that an international break should not be a thing following a World Cup tournament. Not only have players been away from their clubs all summer, but as soon as they’ve settled with the league starting they’re disrupted. It’s an overload that’s unneeded. #CFC

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Gave this 3 week international trial a go but it needs binning off. Bored of the internationals now and three weeks off is ridiculous for players not involved, fan etc. Need to go back to the old two week format

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

The Premier League has the opportunity to showcase to the world that they truly are the best league in football.

They cannot fall to pressure by the UK gov. amid threats by the UAE through Man City’s owners. In reality this should have never reached this point in the first place. But in turn it’s the leagues fault for turning a blind eye when the Saudi’s bought City. Everyone saw this happening. Now we face the consequences of those actions.

Standards must be upheld and severe punishments must be given due to the crimes committed. The league will be forever be changed due to City’s greed, fraud, and lack of fair sportsmanship.

The entire world is looking at the EPL knowing how wrong decades of cheating have damaged the sport. Fans, critics, other leagues and organizations everywhere are paying close attention to how this will settle.

The Premier League must not feather its responsibility to the rest of the league but also to the entire sport when deciding the outcome to these crimes.

An example must be made, that there is no room for politics in football. That there is no space for corruption, cheating, fraud and the likes. That just because you generate high profits you are NOT above the sport.

Relations, money, media - Do NOT sit above rules, regulations and fair play. They do NOT sit above the beautiful game.

Do what’s right and let the entire sport know that the EPL is a league like no other. The EPL sets the standard and will not allow it to be tampered, abused or corrupted. #EPL #FA

🚨 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗭𝗬 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: Chelsea faced all of these 4 teams in their prime and won 4 out of 4 times! 👀

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

Chelsea never filled this cuck’s pockets that’s why he said what he said. The millions poured into his campaign by the UAE while he governed Manchester’s projects led to him being Prime Minister where he bends the knee to the Saudi’s. The biggest puppet of them all! #CFC

[The Blue Warden @TheBlueWarden]

The biggest thing about this entire City scandal is that they’re not even coming out proving their innocence.

Rather they are trying to find loopholes and legalities to snake out of the plain criminal evidence found on 114 charges. Deflection while screaming innocence. While the rest of the league suffers. Right. #CFC
